My basic workflow and the programs I use. I tend to make a lot of small adjustments that add up to improvements that more fully capture what the scene looked like when I was there. Here is what I did to my newest Named Image: Cottonwood, Zion Canyon.

Almost 2014 and Fujifilm is ready for Prime Time!!! The new XTrans II image sensor has dramatically increased AF performance and now the cameras are just "quirky" and not a basic pain in the arse anymore. SO here are some of my thoughts on embracing what I believe is going to be a new paradigm in photography. The X-system is on the fast track to create the "digital Leica" not even Leica is making! (I said XPRO 2 review just to freak out the people who get freaked out by that sort of thing... LOL!) Music by http://www.danosongs/com THANKS!

After three attempts at redoing my Fuji X-system overview video I decided to do it based upon camera body. So here's the first one on the X100s. There's a lot of information I have assimilated in the past few weeks and the best way to cover most of it will be one body at a time, I think. The XE-2 led to the X100s which led to the Xpro1 and now I have all three. The Xpro1 is the one most in need of an update and hopefully we all wont have to wait too long for that. The X100s is the jewel of the system and the finest camera I have ever used. It's all about the image quality, too!Thanks for watching! Music by http://www.danosongs.com

A re-post due to music copyright issues...if it's not really copyright free then why say it is? But thanks to http://www.danosongs.com, we have great music for our videos now! Thanks! Here we keep looking at my user impressions about the wonderful K-5 from Pentax.

Canon Lens Review - 70-200 f4 L IS A GREAT backpacking lens, providing professional results and superb image quality. 1.6 pounds, weather sealing and Image Stabilization all add up to a fantastic offering from Canon! Edward's rating: 9.8/10, (10/10 if Canon included the tripod collar for the same money...)
